Since the Steins;Gate forum is limited (only Mods and Admin can create new threads), this thread serves as a way to request a new thread to be created.

Please post here if you wish to request a new Steins;Gate thread. Please bear in mind that we will only accept reasonable requests, we wish to maintain the focus within the forum and cut down on the noise (so no pointless threads cluttering up the place).

Don't forget that you may still post in existing threads as usual, the only restriction is that you may not create new threads within this particular forum.

Reason:
At the beginning of Episode 12, Okabe is *dreaming* of being on earth 70 million years in the past on a barren landscape, and Mayuri is talking to him about how they are the *original* versions and were sent back that far in time and that they will die there.

On Episode 2 at 8:18-8:25 Mayuri gives Okabe a bag of groceries and their hands touch at 8:21 . . .at 8:22 the barren wasteland scene from ep 12 flashes on screen for a split second. . .

I figured that this would be a good Discussion topic for why those scenes are connected. . .and what Mayuri really knows...

it could also get into the effect that the time traveling is having on other characters as some seem to start remembering other timelines (ferris, and Mayuri as soon as that scene in ep 2)

So, CERN researchers say that they've found out that particles called neutrino travels faster than the speed of light...

Quote:

Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the researchers, told Reuters that measurements taken over three years showed neutrinos pumped from CERN near Geneva to Gran Sasso in Italy had arrived 60 nanoseconds quicker than light would have done.

"We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing," he said. "We now want colleagues to check them independently."

If confirmed, the discovery would undermine Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity, which says that the speed of light is a "cosmic constant" and that nothing in the universe can travel faster.

Quote:

Much science-fiction literature is based on the idea that, if the light-speed barrier can be overcome, time travel might theoretically become possible.

With the preview trailer for the OVA episode released, could we have a discussion thread to discuss the OVA (comments on the trailer, predictions, and eventual reactions)? [Announcement + link to trailer]

A new version of episode 23 with an alternate ending (about ten minutes of new footage) aired in Japan, and it looks like next week they'll air a completely new episode to set up Steins;Gate 0. Could we have a thread either for 23β by itself or a combined thread for 23 and 24β?
